Yes - little know fact of the day - C02 is not by any means the
primary greenhouse gas. 

The politicized theory of AGW (anthropocentric global warming
warming i.e. caused by us brutes) actually doesn't get off the ground
without supporting speculations/dodgy computer modelling about
positive feedbacks.

Methane (cow  human farts and other stuff in no particular order) is
way more powerful than CO2. And the ONE that rules them all is water
vapour.

A widespread adoption of a veggie diet may result in less cow farts -
but would it be made up for in human farts? Do we need a peer-reviewed
paper?

Note to Bhairitu: This is a double-header...not only is the headline
hilarious, so is the photo...no reason not to share both with the FFL
public...
  Cow farts collected in plastic tank for global warming study   [A
cow stands in her pen at the National Institute of Agricultural
Technology in Castelar, near Buenos Aires. Argentine scientists are
taking a novel approach to studying global warming, strapping plastic
tanks to the backs of cows to collect methane]

I voluteer to start collecting farts for science.

But I insist that the collection bag be color-coordinated with my 
shoes.

You definitely have a point there. :D

A special parliamentary committee should be convened.
